* But thou , O son of man , prophesy against Gog , and say , Thus hath said the Lord Eternal , Behold , I will be against thee O Gog , the prince of Rosh , Meshech and Thubal ; * And I will derange thee , and lead thee astray , and will cause thee to come up from the farthest ends of the north ; and I will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel ; * And I will strike thy bow out of thy left hand , and thy arrows will I cause to fall out of thy right hand . * Upon the mountains of Israel shalt thou fall , thou , and all thy armies , and the people that are with thee : unto the ravenous birds , to every thing that hath wings , and to the beasts of the field , do I give thee for food . * Upon the open field shalt thou fall ; for I have spoken it , saith the Lord Eternal . * And I will send a fire against Magog , and against those that dwell in the isles in safety : and they shall know that I am the Lord . * And my holy name will I make known in the midst of my people Israel ; and I will not permit my holy name to be profaned any more : and the nations shall know that I am the Lord , Holy in Israel . * Behold , it cometh , and it taketh place , saith the Lord Eternal ; this is the day whereof I have spoken . * And the inhabitants of the cities of Israel shall go forth , and shall burn and make fire for heating of the weapons , and shields and bucklers , of bows and of arrows , and of hand –staves , and of spears ; and they shall feed with them the fire for seven years ; * And they shall take no wood out of the field , nor cut down any out of the forests ; for with weapons shall they feed the fire : and they shall spoil those that spoiled them , and plunder those that plundered them , saith the Lord Eternal . * And it shall come to pass on that day , that I will give unto Gog a place there for a grave in Israel , the valley where people pass over to the east of the sea ; and it shall stop the passengers : and they shall bury there Gog and all his multitude , and they shall call it The valley of the multitude of Gog . * And the house of Israel shall be burying them , in order to cleanse the land , during seven months . * Yea , all the people of the land shall bury them ; and it shall be to them as a renown on the day that I glorify myself , saith the Lord Eternal . * And men constantly devoted to this shall they set apart to pass through the land , to bury with those that pass through those that remain upon the face of the earth , to cleanse it ; at the end of seven months shall they make a search . * And those that thus travel will pass through the land ; and when any one seeth a human bone , then will he set up a sign by it , till the buriers have buried it in the valley of the multitude of Gog . * And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah . Thus shall they cleanse the land . * And thou , O son of man , thus hath said the Lord Eternal , Say unto the birds , to every thing that hath wings , and to every beast of the field , Assemble yourselves , and come ; gather yourselves from every side to my sacrifice that I do slaughter for you , as a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel , that ye may eat flesh , and drink blood . * The flesh of the mighty shall ye eat , and the blood of the princes of the earth shall ye drink ,––wethers , lambs , and he –goats , bullocks , fatlings of Bashan are they all of them . * And ye shall eat fat till ye be sated , and ye shall drink blood till ye be drunken , from my sacrifice which I have slaughtered for you . * And ye shall be sated at my table on horses and chariot –teams , on mighty men , and on all men of war , saith the Lord Eternal . * And I will display my glory among the nations : and all the nations shall see my punishment that I execute , and my hand that I lay on them . * And the house of Israel shall acknowledge that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward . * And the nations shall know that for their iniquity did the house of Israel go into exile ; because they had trespassed against me , and I had hidden my face from them ; and I gave them up therefore into the hand of their oppressors , and they all fell by the sword . * According to their uncleanness , and according to their transgressions did I deal with them , and hid my face from them . * Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal , Now will I bring back again the captivity of Jacob , and I will have mercy upon the whole house of Israel , and will be zealous for my holy name ; * And they shall feel their disgrace , and all their trespass whereby they had trespassed against me , when they dwelt in their land in safety , with none to make them afraid : * When I bring them back again from the people , and gather them out of the land of their enemies , and sanctify myself on them before the eyes of the many nations . * And they shall know that I am the Lord their God ; because I had exiled them among the nations , but gather them now unto their own land , and leave none of them any more there . * And I will not hide my face any more from them ; for I will have poured out my spirit over the house of Israel , saith the Lord Eternal . * In the five and twentieth year of our exile , in the beginning of the year , on the tenth day of the month , in the fourteenth year after the city had been smitten , on the selfsame day came the inspiration of the Lord upon me , and brought me thither . * In the visions of God brought he me unto the land of Israel , and set me down upon a very high mount , on which there was built something like a city on the south . * And when he had brought me thither , behold , there was a man , whose appearance was like the appearance of copper , with a line of flax in his hand , and a measuring –rod : and he was standing in the gate . * And the man spoke unto me , Son of man , behold with thy eyes , and hear with thy ears , and direct thy heart unto all that I am about to show thee ; for in order to show it unto thee art thou brought hither : tell all that thou seest to the house of Israel . * And behold there was a wall on the outside of the house all round about , and in the man ’s hand was a measuring –rod of six cubits long by the cubit which was a hand ’s breadth longer than usual ; and he measured the breadth of the building , one rod , and the height , one rod . * Then came he unto the gate which looked in the direction toward the east , and went up its steps , and measured the threshold of the gate , one rod in breadth , and the other threshold one rod in breadth . * And every cell was one rod long , and one rod broad ; and between the cells were five cubits : and the threshold of the gate near by the porch of the gate within was one rod . * He measured also the porch of the gate within , one rod . * Then measured he the porch of the gate , eight cubits , and its door –posts , two cubits : and the porch of the gate was inward . * And the cells of the gate in the eastern direction were three on this side , and three on that side , one measure was for all the three ; and there was one measure for the door –posts on this side and on that side . * And he measured the breadth of the entrance of the gate , ten cubits , the length of the gate , thirteen cubits . * And there was a space before the cells of one cubit on this side , and one cubit space was there on that side : and every cell was of six cubits on this side , and of six cubits on that side . * And he measured the gate from the roof of cell to the roof of , in breadth five and twenty cubits , one door being against door . * And he made door –posts of sixty cubits , and around the door –posts the court and the gate all round about . * And the height of the gate of the entrance as also the height of the porch of the inner gate was fifty cubits . * And there were narrow windows in the cells , and by their door –posts within the gate all round about , and likewise in the porches : and windows were all round about inward ; and on each door post were palm –shaped . * Then brought he me into the outward court , and , lo , there were chambers , and a pavement made for the court all round about : thirty chambers were upon the pavement . * And the pavement by the side of the gates was all along the whole length of the gates : this was the lower pavement . * Then measured he the breadth from the front of the lower gate unto the front of the inner court , without , one hundred cubits , eastward and northward . * And the gate of the outer court that looked in a northern direction , he measured after its length , and its breadth . * And its cells were three on this side and three on that side ; and its door –posts and its porches were after the measure of the first gate : fifty cubits was its length , and its breadth five and twenty cubits . * And its windows , and its porches , and their palm –shaped capitals , were after the measure of the gate that looked in an eastern direction : and by seven steps did they go up unto it , and to its porches which were before them . * And the gates of the inner court were opposite the gates on the north , and on the east : and he measured from gate to gate one hundred cubits . * After that he led me forth to the south side , and behold there was a gate on the south side : and he measured its door –posts and its porches after these measures . * And there were windows in it and in its porches all round about , like the other windows : it was fifty cubits in length , and in breadth five and twenty cubits . * And by seven steps was the ascent to it , and to its porches which were before them ; and it had palm –shaped capitals , one on this side , and another on that side , upon its door –posts . * And there was a gate in the inner court on the south side : and he measured from gate to gate on the south side one hundred cubits . * And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate ; and he measured the south gate after these measures ; * And its cells , and its door –posts , and its porches were after these measures ; and there were windows in it and in its porches all round about : it was fifty cubits in length , and in breadth five and twenty cubits . * And arched passages were all round about , five and twenty cubits long , and five cubits broad . * And its porches were toward the outer court ; and palm –shaped capitals were upon its door –posts : and its ascent was by eight steps . * And he brought me into the inner court on the east side ; and he measured the gate after these measures ; * And its cells and its door –posts , and its porches , were according to these measures ; and there were windows in it and in its porches all round about : its length was fifty cubits , and its breadth five and twenty cubits . * And its porches were toward the outward court ; and palm –shaped capitals were upon its door –posts , on this side , and on that side : and by eight steps was the ascent to it . * And he brought me to the north gate , and he measured it after these measures ; * Its cells , its door –posts , and its porches ; and the windows in it were all round about : its length was fifty cubits , and its breadth five and twenty cubits . * And its door –posts were toward the outer court ; and palm –shaped capitals were upon its door –posts , on this side , and on that side : and by eight steps was the ascent to it . * And there was a chamber with its door by the door –posts of the gates , where they washed off the burnt –offerings . * And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side , and two tables on that side , to slaughter thereon the burnt –offerings and the sin –offerings and the trespass –offerings . * And at the side without , as one went up to the entrance of the north gate , were two tables ; and on the other side of the porch of the gate were two tables ; * Four tables being on this side , and four tables on that side , by the side of the gate , eight tables , whereupon they slaughtered . * And there were four tables of hewn stone for the burnt –offerings , of a cubit and a half long , and a cubit and a half broad , and one cubit high : whereupon they laid the instruments wherewith they slaughtered the burnt –offerings and the sacrifices . * And hooks , a hand long , were fastened within all round about : and on the tables was placed the flesh of the offerings . * And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court , which was at the side of the north gate ; and their front was toward the south side : one was at the side of the east gate having the front toward the north side . * And he spoke unto me , This chamber , the front of which is toward the south , is for the priests who have the charge of the house . * And the chamber , the front of which is toward the north , is for the priests who have the charge of the altar : these are the sons of Zadok , who come near , from among the sons of Levi , to the Lord to minister unto him . * So he measured the court , in length one hundred cubits , and in breadth one hundred cubits , foursquare : and the altar before the house . * And he brought me to the porch of the house , and measured each door –post of the porch , five cubits on this side , and five cubits on that side : and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side , and three cubits on that side . * The length of the porch was twenty cubits , and the breadth eleven cubits , together with the steps whereby they went up to it : and there were pillars by the door –posts , one on this side , and another on that side . * And he brought me to the temple : and he measured the door –posts , six cubits broad on the one side , and six cubits broad on the other side , the breadth of the tabernacle .
